Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 1 year old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, she has a low-grade fever. What should be the treatment for a child’s tonsillitis, as it can be quite painful?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be given according to symptoms. In more severe cases, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has a particularly sore throat, painkillers can be administered as appropriate. If the child keeps running a fever, parents should give some fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgery may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
